Hello my loving Asean Hive community,
How are all my friends? Yesterday I told you about growing new plants in my small garden. Today the weather is cloudy and it is raining continuously. So today I did a DIY project in my room. Today I made DIY strawberries with little stone. I'm not good at painting at all. And I have never painted on a stone.




Since this is my first time, I chose the easiest strawberry drawing. Let me first tell you about the materials needed to make strawberries using stones.

Materials-
- stones
- poster paints
- color brushes





There is a pile of stones near my house. Just a week ago I picked up some stones because I wanted to do DIY stone painting. The shape and size are not the same. I put all those stones in a basket and kept them. Today I picked some stones from the basket to make strawberries. I chose only slightly smaller stones.




All the stones are covered with dust and sand. They can be a nuisance when I paint. So I cleaned all the stones with a toothbrush in water. After rinsing, I wiped the stones thoroughly with a tissue. Now I'm ready to paint on those stones.




I picked one of these stones and painted the entire surface red. Then I let it dry and then painted it red again. The reason I paint it red is because when it dries, the paint turns to dark. I painted the stone red until I got the color I wanted. I painted the rest of the stones red in the same way.





Now is the time to paint the strawberry leaf. I used two green colors to paint the strawberry leaf. One is dark green color and the other is light green color. First I chose one of the stones painted red and painted a dark green color on top of that stone. After that dark green color dried, I re-painted the light green color. I also painted green on the remaining stones the same way.






When the red color I painted dried, I dotted the yellow color on that red color. When I drew the dots using the yellow color, the yellow color became soft, so I had to repaint. That way I painted yellow color on all the stones. I used the smallest brush to paint yellow.






This is very easy to do and does not require many steps. You can paint everything you like on this stone. For today, I used seven stones to make strawberries. In my eyes, my strawberries are very different from strawberries in that they look like cookies. What do you think? I also have a lot of stones and I will try to share some better stone painting art soon. Thank you. 🍇
